Chapter 221 – Burning With Worry! (1/2)

Chapter 221: Burning with worry!

Kong Li threw into a rage, scolding until Yang Xiaohu left in panic.

That guy has a simple and honest face, but is in fact, a bad person beneath the surface. He could think of any crooked ideas.

“You actually think that I came here to inquire about the situation, do you think I'm an idiot?” Kong Li shouted at Yang Xiaohu from behind: “Why should I tell you what I'm going to give him? What if you copy me? Then my gift wouldn't show any sincerity?”

After a brief pause he continued: “They say that people who read a lot are inwardly sinister, it seems it really is true. Even a bookworm like Yang Xiaohu knows to lie and deceive people——”

While Kong Li mumbled angrily to himself, he headed to the courtyard where he lived. It seemed the main reason he came to Starry Sky Library, was to catch Li Muyang.

Li Muyang's days were also not too good, he was subjected to Qiandu and Lin Canghai's interrogation.

“Li Muyang, why does Teacher Kong want to accept you as his disciple?”

“Maybe he is psychologically unbalanced.” Li Muyang gave a shy smile, as he continued: “Teacher Kong and Teacher Xiahou do not get along with each other. If Teacher Xiahou said the moon is round, he would say it is curved. If Teacher Xiahou said the flowers are red, he would say they're purple. If Teacher Xiahou said to go east, he would say to go west. What Teacher Xiahou has, he must also have as well. Teacher Xiahou took me as a disciple, so he also wants to take me as his disciple.”

Lin Canghai nodded understandingly as he replied: “I see.”

“If, as you said, Teacher Kong and Teacher Xiahou do not get along, and whatever Teacher Xiahou supports, Teacher Kong would oppose——Then since Teacher Xiahou acknowledged you as his disciple then he should be disgusted with you. Why did he want to be like Teacher Xiahou? Walking behind Teacher Xiahou, isn't he worried that Teacher Xiahou would say he's copying him?”

Lin Canghai slapped himself on the forehead. “Yes, why did I not think of that? I was almost deceived by you. Li Muyang, tell me the truth——I think you have too many secrets in your possession. Aren't you tired?”

“Tired.” Li Muyang said.

“What?”

“I said I'm tired of hiding too many secrets”

“You still haven't answered my previous questions. Why did Teacher Kong accept you as a disciple?”

“If it's not to fight over the same man as Teacher Xiahou, then there is another reason——”

“What reason?”

“He couldn't overlook my excellence.”

“——”

Qiandu giggled sweetly out loud: “Canghai don't ask anymore, Li Muyang also isn't a mind reader?”

Li Muyang looked deep into Qiandu's eyes, sensing that this girl knows some secrets that even he does not know.

Lin Canghai grumbled: “So many people want to acknowledge him as disciple, how would he not know?”

Qiandu simply smiled, as though did not take Lin Canghai childish sulking to heart, looked at Li Muyang and asked: “Li Muyang, you really want to become a disciple of Teacher Kong?”

Li Muyang nodded. “When I just started this school I said I want to become a man that cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism. Now there is such a good opportunity for me, how can I abandon it?”

“But you should be aware that the man who studies both Buddhism and Taoism will eventually become idiotic in both Buddha and Taoism, the brilliant genius of the moment reduced to a n.o.body. Life is no more than hundred years, you may regret it later.” Qiandu sincerely tried to persuade him.

Li Muyang could feel how much Qiandu cared for him, nodded and replied: “I know. Both Teacher Xiahou and Teacher Kong have reminded me, but I still want to——maybe I'm not like them?”

Li Muyang wanted to give it a try, as long as it was an opportunity to make him stronger he would not let go.

He also must give it a try because he was deeply concerned about his ident.i.ty. If his ident.i.ty was exposed, he would become an enemy of the entire human race and countless strong people of Starry Sky would come to slaughter him——

The mastery of the techniques and skills of dragon slayers was crucial to his ability to survive.

To know one's own strength and that of the enemy was the surest path to victory.

Qiandu pondered briefly, when a sweet smile curved her lips again. Her smile was very shallow, but very enthusiastic, and very contagious. “Well then. I wish you who is not like them walk a different path as them——to study both Buddhism and Taoism, even the thought of it is exciting enough.”

Lin Canghai curled his lips, saying sulkily: “If someone else thought like him, you would have already decided that they are idiotic, arrogant egomaniacs. But when Li Muyang said it you think he's different——”

Qiandu blushed slightly and said sternly: “Canghai, don't talk nonsense.”

Li Muyang's lips curved into an honest smile, evaluating the relations.h.i.+p between these two people.

“On the surface they are cla.s.smates, but they seemed more like siblings——Also, they both like me.” Li Muyang secretly a.n.a.lysed to himself.
